SectionLayout is used for grouping UI components (which are logically related)together. For example, if you have a employee information form, the form can be logically broken down into Address details, Job details etc. Address Details can have a separate sectionLayout and Job Details can have a separate section Layout.
Both the sectionLayouts can be added in a single formLayout.
Differences:
Multiple sectionLayouts can be used within a formLayout.
A formLayout should have buttons - created by a buttonLayout.
You cannot add buttonLayout in a sectionLayout.
A sectionLayout cannot contain a formLayout.

The main differences include different label formatting and the form layout has an attribute for buttons. You can see all the differences here

@tim.clarke, Sorry. Yes, a sectionLayout can have a buttonLayout. I should have mentioned that a sectionLayout does not have a attribute for buttons.
